It’s October.
What the what!?!?!?
I can’t believe the year is almost over. Craaaaaaaaazzy.
At least it’s time to do some fun holiday decorating. Over the next two weeks I’ll be giving you some easy peasy Fall/Halloween crafts.
Easily make décor for Fall/Halloween with spray paint.
You’ll Need:
~Vase
~Spray paint… I used black but choose orange, brown or yellow for a more fall-ish feel.
~Drop cloth
~Skewer
~Fabric strip
~Flowers
1. Place items on drop cloth and spray paint. Tip: place the vase upside-down on a heavy duty skewer to get all the sides and top at once. Then stick the skewer into a potted plant to dry.
2. Let dry and add fabric strip (if you like) and flowers to finish.
Get creative and use this technique with taper candle holders, old wine bottles or thrifted glass figurines! Or branches. I had just pruned some bushes in the yard and I painted the heck out of the leafless branches. They look great on the mantel!
(I made everything you seen on the mantle. Check back for the rest of the crafts!)

How does your spray paint come out looking so perfect? I tried spray painting picture frames, and it was a disaster. I have a half million vases and would love to spray paint them a bunch of different colors, but I’m totally freaked out now. :/

I’ve had bad luck with glossy frames (the ikea ones), the paint beads off in random places. If that’s the problem, get some fine sandpaper and do a quick pass over the frame before you paint. Another tip is to do thin layers holding the spray can farther away and wait about 10 minutes in between each layer. Seems like overkill but it depends on the material. This glass votive was a breeze though! Try your glass.
